Your Fitness Coach for Every Lifestyle

Whether you are brand new to fitness or an elite athlete, I will help you define & achieve your goals.

As a coach, I excel at bringing out the best in my clients. Do you want to learn how to commute on bike to work, complete your first sprint triathlon, ride a century, run a marathon, or complete an endurance multisport race? I have the experience you need from not only racing, but living an active life for years. I use a creative coaching style that recognizes your time is short. I understand you need to make the most of our time together, and your coaching schedule. Let me come up with a way for you to balance your training and family life, with all the compassion, inspiration and accountability you need to accomplish your goals.

I am an active racer, and have completed many half and full marathons, duathlons (Run, Bike, Run), and triathlons (Swim, Bike, Run) from sprint to endurance distances, including 70.3 and 140.6 Ironman™ races, in the US, Canada, Europe & Australia.

Being a multisport coach and certified yoga instructor, I have worked with hundreds of athletes in both one-on-one and group settings to engage, inspire, and challenge. My intention is to keep you moving for years to come. Combining cardio, weight and yoga training will enable your body to recover between challenging workouts and give muscle groups the time to build and strengthen.

My experience as a certified yoga instructor as well as a beginner to elite multisport coach, provides me the opportunity to create a multi faceted training program that you can enjoy for years. I learned to swim at age 38 in order to compete in triathlon and use this experience to work with all levels and ages of athletes to accomplish their unique dreams at any age. I work both with your mindset and body to help you achieve the goals you desire.

As a triathlon and cycling coach, I have worked with hundreds of athletes in both one-on-one and group settings to engage, inspire, and challenge their physical fitness. Currently, I coach yoga, cycling and triathlon in private lessons, clinics, weekly class and more. I work with my clients on power/wattage based bike trainers that give immediate feedback to my athletes. It allows me to give very specific coaching on a one-on-on basis no matter where, in the world, you live!

From children to adults, new riders to elite racers, I work with you to further your technique, form and skills to ensure greater safety, power, efficiency, and speed.

I have been called the “bike whisperer” by clients. Anyone who has been challenged by an injury or scare on a bike, can benefit from the quiet inspiration I provided, to get you riding again and move beyond what is holding you back. I not only love to work with young children and teach them how to ride, but adults as well. More importantly, I have had tremendous success working with children of all ages that have special needs or are on the autism spectrum. The desire to ride on two wheels should be shared by all.

Coach Mary helped me see myself as an endurance athlete. Now, considering I am in my late 40s, a mother of two, and have never before been an athlete, that is no small feat! She helped me acquire the tool kit necessary to fulfill the vision – from bike skills to training plans, nutritional guidelines, and emotional encouragement. Under her guidance, I increased my mileage and raised my hopes – 200k, 300ks, even-why not?- dreaming of 400k. Not bad for a mom! Thank you, Mary!
